Workshop Description:
In this presentation, I will describe and demonstrate four approaches to use of hypnosis with children that have proven to be effective in my clinical practice when used separately or in combination. With most of my patients I first introduce the concepts of the mind/body interactions and the importance of positive self-talk through a muscle testing demonstration. Secondly, patients are taught how to achieve a relaxed state using favorite place imagery and progressive relaxation, as well as how to trigger their relaxation response with an anchor. During a third session I often introduce children to the concept of the subconscious and how it can help them. I teach them ways of communicating directly with their subconscious including through ideomotor signaling and self-talk. Finally, we discuss how to achieve a spiritual state that permits patients to view life challenges with a more helpful perspective.
Learning Objectives:
After attending this intermediate-level workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Describe how to teach basic hypnosis techniques to children, including introducing them to the concept of mind/body interaction through muscle testing.
2. Interact with children’s subconscious to teach them about how to better tap into their inner resources.
